It's not too late to join our fall Adult Education classes, where you'll find a wide variety of enrichment opportunites.

The session will last eight weeks, from Sept. 30 to Dec. 1. We hope this format helps people feel able to commit to facilitating and/or participating in the classes, without worrying about signing on for the rest of your life! Come as often as you are able and we will miss you whenever life takes you away from us.

Here is a partial list of current offerings, it will be completed shortly! (Sorry, gang, nobody’s perfect, go ahead and direct your questions to me, Andrea Wandersee, at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it )

T’ai Chi Chih with Ann Pia

Adults and middle-school-aged children or above are invited. Ann Pia welcomed us last week. There were two adults and one 12-year-old. She is very patient and positive. We learned a few new moves and practiced them. We discussed T’ai Chi in general. Ann is very flexible and hopes people will join us and participate as they are able and interested.
